[PATCH] mballoc: fix hot spins after err_freebuddy and err_freemeta

From: Roel Kluin
Date: Thu Apr 17 2008 - 12:09:40 EST


ext4_mb_init_backend() has a variable i of type ext4_group_t. which is typedefined
in include/linux/ext4_fs_i.h:34 to unsigned long. Since unsigned, i >= 0 is always
true, so fix hot spins after err_freebuddy and err_freemeta.
